Read a full match report of the FA Cup third-round replay between Sunderland
and Bolton Wanderers at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday Jan 15 2013.

Bolton’s Marvin Sordell may be having treatment for his addiction to the social networking site Twitter but he let his goals do the talking last night as his second-half double booked a fourth-round FA Cup home tie with Everton.

Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill had a few choice words of his own after a dismal display by his side. So impressive against West Ham last weekend, Sunderland were well beaten.

“We have gone out too weakly,” O’Neill said. “We have to be able to put four or five games together, putting everything into the game. We need to show that consistency.

“We did not take this lightly, we put out a strong team. Whether you are playing in front of 17,000 people or 100,000 people you are a professional player and you have to galvanise yourself. If we can’t do that with this group of players, we’ll change things.”

This was the second time they had been beaten by Championship opponents at home in cups this season following Middlesbrough’s 1-0 win in October.

None of that will worry Bolton, who now face another Premier League side in Everton. They rode their luck when they sat deep, but encouraged to attack by manager Dougie Freedman, they dominated the second half.

“We had a game plan and we stuck to it,” Freedman said. “We knew for the first 60 minutes we had to limit Sunderland, but towards the end we grew and took control with our passing and we deserved to win. With our energy and passing ability I thought we could hurt them later in the game and we did. We’ll look forward to Everton. The way we are playing, we see that as a winnable game.”

Zat Knight headed a corner straight at Simon Mignolet early on, but Sunderland took control after that.

Adam Johnson engineered enough room to get a shot away inside the area, but Andy Lonergan just about managed to get his hands up to tip it over the bar. Sunderland also went close twice with free-kicks.

Bolton were more adventurous after Freedman’s half-time chat. Just after the hour Darren Pratley beat a sliding Jack Colback to the ball and was tripped inside the area. Sordell took the spot kick clinically, sending Mignolet the wrong way.

Sunderland still could not rouse themselves and Sordell punished their lethargy when he turned Matt Kilgallon and squeezed a shot under Mignolet. The upset never looked in any doubt after that.
